One-Piece Fingertight FittingsFor Coned Ports

Upchurch scientific®’s original one-Piece Fingertight Fittings have 10-32 threads and are designed to be used with 1/16” od tubing, except the m-645 (6-40, 1/32”) and P-100 (1/4-28, 1/8”).

The F-120 is Upchurch scientific’s most popular high pressure Fingertight. (Upchurch scientific also manufactures two-piece Fingertight fittings with overall geometries similar to the F-120 – the F-195 sealTight™ fitting on page 17 and the F-331 Fingertight on page 18 are available.)

our m-645 Fitting is a direct replacement for the 6-40 threaded Vici® (Valco) fitting. For more information on this product and other 6-40 threaded fittings, please see pages 44– 45.

Upchurch scientific one-Piece Fingertight Fittings are rated between 1,000 – 6,000 psi (69 – 414 bar), depending on the fitting. Please see the specific pressure ratings for these fittings shown below.

RheFlex® one-Piece Fittings are designed for use with many of the Rheodyne® manual valves, starting on page 87. The one-Piece RheFlex m4 Fittings, designed for use with Rheodyne mx Nano-scale modules, are listed on page 44. For one-Piece Fingertight Fittings for Ultra high Performance valves, see page 9.

Sure-Fit™ Connector self-adjusting to any port depth regardless of column manufacturer

Fingertight to 6,000 psi (414 bar)

Available in PeeK™ or stainless steel

eliminating leaks and dead volume is critical to achieving good chromatographic results. only the sure-Fit connector gives you a perfect fit in nearly every 10-32 coned receiving port — every connection, every time. Typically leaks and dead volume are caused by an improperly plumbed system and can occur for many reasons, including switching columns. The problem occurs not only when switching from one manufacturer to another, it can also occur when changing columns from the same manufacturer. This is because female port depths vary, even within the same manufacturing lot. Unless the connector is universal, eliminating leaks and dead volume cannot be guaranteed. The sure-Fit connector has a unique internal spring-tensioned mechanism that automatically self-adjusts to virtually any port depth while maintaining constant pressure on the 1/16” od tubing.

sure-Fit connectors come with either PeeK tubing or stainless steel tubing, in varying lengths and internal diameters, pre-assembled for ease of use. choose the 9502-01007-hP — a U-shaped sure-Fit connector — for use in Agilent® 1100 systems, or select the 9504-01005-050 for micro-scale applications where biocompatibility is desired.

Two-Piece Fingertight Fittings IntroductionFor Coned Ports

Two-Piece Fingertight Fittings feature a separate ferrule. with a two-piece design, you can replace just the ferrule instead of the entire unit, making these Fingertights more economical than the one- piece version.

application Note

Installing High Pressure FittingsBefore connecting fittings, ensure the end of the tubing has a clean, square, burr-free cut. This is very important, as the square cut helps the tubing make full contact with the bottom of the mating port. Neglecting to properly cut the tubing could lead to dead volume, resulting in peak distortion such as fronting, tailing or broadening.

Polymer One-Piece Fittings1. slide the fitting at least 3/16” from the end of the clean cut tubing.

2. insert the assembly into the receiving port, pushing the tubing into the port until it bottoms out.

3. Finger tighten the nut into the port until snug.1

4. After several uses (especially at high pressures) the fitting should be replaced.

Two-Piece Fittings with Polymer Ferrules1. slide the nut, followed by the ferrule, at least 3/16” from the end

of the clean cut tubing (see figure below).

2. Follow steps 2–3, above.

3. After several uses (especially at high pressures) the ferrule should be replaced.

Stainless Steel Nuts and Ferrules1. Follow steps 1–2 in the “Two-Piece Fittings with Polymer Ferrules”

section above.

2. Using an appropriate wrench, tighten an additional 1/4 – 1/2 turn past fingertight. Remove the fitting to confirm the ferrule is swaged onto the tube.

3. Because the ferrule is permanently attached to the tubing we highly recommend that the fitting only be used in the mating port into which it was initially swaged. Failure to do this may result in dead volume and/or leaks.

Tubing Nut Ferrule Receiving Port

1 Upchurch Scientific® recommends a tightening torque of 2-4 in-lbs for its Fingertight fittings — roughly equivalent to typical finger tightening torque. Please note that undertightening can result in fitting leakage at pressures less than to what the fitting is rated, and overtightening can cause leakage and/or fitting damage.

hold up to 9,000 psi (620 bar) with Fingertight convenience!

The dual compression created by the specially designed nut and ferrule enables the Upchurch scientific® sealTight Fittings system to outperform standard finger tightened fittings. The forward cone of the sealTight Ferrule provides gripping power and a leak-free seal via conventional compression by the receiving port. The slotted end creates the second compression zone in conjunction with a sealTight Nut. (see diagram on page 16. The sealTight Ferrule design is similar to that of the RheFlex® Two-Piece Ferrule). All sealTight Nuts are for use with 1/16” od tubing and are designed to be used with the F-192 Ferrule. This fittings system is also interchangeable with Two-Piece RheFlex Fittings system.

Two-Piece Fingertight FittingsFor Coned Ports

Upchurch scientific®’s original Two-Piece Fingertight Fittings were designed exclusively for 1/16” od tubing. we offer optional ferrules for connecting 1/32”, 360 µm and 190 µm od tubing into coned ports designed for 1/16” od tubing. These special ferrules work with any Fingertight nut on this page. our m-215 conductive Perfluoroelastomer Ferrule is designed for mass spectrometer electrospray applications. For more information on this product, please turn to page 41.

To order, please follow these guidelines:

1/16” OD tubing – select the desired nut, which comes complete with the appropriate ferrule. or, order the optional F-142N Ferrule, along with the desired nut by replacing the “x” at the end of its product number with “-01”. For instance, if you want an F-200 Nut, order F-200-01, not F-200x. Please Note: “-01” denotes a single nut without the ferrule.

1/32” OD tubing – select the F-113 Ferrule. order the desired nut by replacing the “x” at the end of its product number with “-01”, as described above.

360 µm OD tubing – select the F-151 Ferrule. For electrospray applications, choose the m-215 conductive Ferrule. order the desired nut by replacing the “x” at the end of its product number with “-01”, as described above.

190 µm OD tubing – select the F-148 Ferrule. order the desired nut by replacing the “x” at the end of its product number with “-01”, as described above.

LiteTouch® FittingsFor Coned Ports

helps Prevent Twisting of Polymer Tubing

high Pressure with Fingertight convenience

For 1/32”, 1/16” and 1/8” od Tubing

The LiteTouch Fittings system from Upchurch scientific® grips tubing at two compression points (see diagram), holding to high pressures with Fingertight convenience. it also prevents polymer tubing from twisting, a potential problem when using standard Fingertight fittings. LiteTouch Fittings are available for use with 1/32”, 1/16” and 1/8” od tubing sizes, and for 10-32 and 1/4-28 coned ports.

For those space-limited applications where nut heads interfere with each other, try our FlushNut™ Fittings. (FlushNut Fittings require a tightening tool. Please see page 21 for more information about these products.)

To avoid collapsing the id of your tubing, Upchurch scientific recommends the LiteTouch system be used on hard tubing only, such as stainless steel and PeeK™ polymer tubing. we do not recommend the LiteTouch Ferrule system for repeated use in plastic ports.

Flangeless SealTight FittingsFor Flat-Bottom Ports

hold up to 5,000 psi in 1/4-28 Flat-Bottom Ports

All Polymer construction

The Upchurch scientific Flangeless sealTight Fittings system has redefined the pressure range of metal-free applications for traditional 1/4-28 flat-bottom ports. our innovative F-290 Ferrule incorporates the dual compression mechanism of the F-192 coned sealTight Ferrule in a design that allows its use in a flat-bottom port. with this ferrule and a Flangeless sealTight nut, it is now possible to hold pressures up to 5,000 psi (345 bar) with all-polymer components in flat-bottom ports.

All Flangeless sealTight nuts require the PeeK F-290 Flangeless sealTight Ferrule. This fittings system, for use with 1/16” od tubing only, is particularly well suited for applications where metal is undesirable, such as those involving NmR or microwaves.

FlushNut™ FittingsFor Coned and Flat-Bottom Ports

Tightens Flush with the Top of the Receiving Port

several Ferrule options

Upchurch scientific® FlushNut Fittings are designed for those tight-space applications where nut heads often interfere with each other. when coupled with an appropriate ferrule and tightened into a receiving port, the FlushNut’s slotted head seats at or near flush with the top of the port. This feature allows FlushNut Fittings to reside in closer proximity than any other option on the market.

FlushNut Fittings are available for use with a number of ferrule systems and for use with 1/32”, 1/16” and 1/8” od tubing (see table below). Pressure ratings for these products range from 700–9,000 psi (48–620 bar), determined by the tubing and ferrule system selected. Please see the pages indicated in the table below for specific pressure ratings. All FlushNut Fittings are manufactured from 316 stainless steel.1

Tighten or remove FlushNut Fittings with our specially designed FlushNut wrenches, available in 10-32 and 1/4-28 versions.1 Except the P-321 Plug, which is made of PEEK™ polymer.
